Now that the cholera is said 10 be
breaking ont again IN Italy, it may be
intorl sting to give the following story
Of the King OF Italy. "better than any
that got into the papers, which IS III
cidcntally told in the .ast part Of Miss
MoyandCr's "Christ's Folk in the
Apeninc, edited 10y Mr.. Huskin: -
saw "a lady little while Ego, married
to IiCdmontcse, who was at Busca,

summer (lSSl, when the King went
there, and she gave me an interesting
account oft all. She said every one WIS
in a panic and afraid to 30 near the
sick people, but the King took hold a.
if he had been a hospital nurse, going
always where the danger was greatest,
sitting by the beds of the sick, admin
istering their medicines, rubbing them
with spirit when the chill came, giving
food, advice. or money as they Were
wanted, sometimes sympathlzlng, some
times laughing and testing to keep up
their hearts, until others came forward
to help, just for shame. And in the
evening, when he went to rest, tired
out, and his servants came about to
change his clothesa and fumigate him,
he used to smile at their anxieties and
then raise his eyes to Heaven as if to
say There is where my safety comes
from OF course all this did not suit
every one. and there WAS some talk OF
passing a law TO prevent soyereigns
from ri.king their lives, but Umberto
said if they did he should be the first
to break it. and as every one knew that
he would keep his word there was no
more said about il.

Russian Prisons.

The Russian Administration OF Pri-
sons has issued its report for 1885. Ga
the lst of January, 1880, there were
q .4Ss persons incarcerated throughout
the empire. In the course of the year
7O3. 2I entered and 697, 100 individuals
were liberated, leaving a residue OF
99.g73 still in prison Women formed
about s per cent. Of the convicted.
Notwithstanding . certain amehora-
ton of sanitary appliances IN the
iail. the rate Of mortality re-
msined stationary. OF the $500
prisoners who were treated IN nos
pital there died ,, lS9 nen, DO wo-
men. end 546 children. Inthisrespect
the island of Saghalien stood IN the
worst position, its sick-list showing a
total Of &C per cent on the year, but
the number Of deaths there are not
given. Diseases arising from humidity,
insufficient ventilation, and defective
sanitary arrangements are the chief
scourges of the State prisons. Among
the 4,029 persons who passed through
the prisons OF st. Petersburg 800
veIe accused of theft, l39 of po-
itical offences, of bigamy, and
| Of apostacy. The largest num-
Der Of offenders belonged t. tue
artisan class; not one is specified as a
peasant. The expenses of the peni-
tentiary service in the whole empire
amounted to $l1, 79S, 0l4 rubles, being
a diminution Of 52l, 239 rubles upon
the expenditure of the preceding year.
This economy was partially effected by
reducing the cost OF the equipment Of
the prisoners. There was falling of
in the receipts derived from the pro-
ducts of the prisoners industry from
1873. $50 rubles in 1884 to lOS, 53S mbles
in 1885. Morever, the Coal-Mining

people Witnessed the performance which
was very daring, Baldwin assembled to
the height of one mile, and then, hold
ing his parachutes launched himself
INTO space. The parachute was about
eighteen feet in diameter and made OF
cords and strong silk. When the Jump
was made it war closed and the first
200 feet the aeronant dropped like 8

the speed became less rapid and the
aeronaut and his strange apparatus
Ehoated steadily down like q bird. II

complished in three minutes AID twenty

Washington, July 3-Among those
discharged from the quartermaster gem
erals office Thursday vas q daughter Of
the gallant. Gen. Worth of New York.
Miss Worth is about sixty years old and
quite feeble. She has been in the gov
eminent service here for d great many
years, and has supported a nephew and
niece on her small salary. No fault was
found with Miss Worth's work, but she
has been in very poor health for some
time and could put in only half a days
service each day at the office. She was
compelled to leave at / O'Clock when the
other clerks remained until 4. This en-.
forced absence, which was due to no
fRnlt OF hers, made her record in the
Office very low. Miss Van Lew, who
was dropped from the office by the post
master general q few days since, was
also very inirm and hardly able to do
clerks work, and thu same reason vas
gwen FOR dropping her. The reduction
in the salary of Mrs. Stanton, a~sistef-in-
law OF the late secretary, was also made
on he's same ground. James 81, Mari
the late chief clerk of the first assistant
postmaster generals office, wa scarcely
able to perform any work for five or six
years previous to death, and yet he con-
tinued to draw q salary from the govern

Washington, July 3-rhe persistency
with which Senator Oolquits has been
put forward the past few days as the
probable successor of Secretary Lamar,
should the latter 20 to the supreme
bench, has drawn public attention to
that gentlemsn here in Washington as
n OF the sensible business senators
with q leaning towards conservatism and
q disposition to talk little that has won
him the regard OF the older senators and
the people. He has twice been elected
governor of Georgia and showed
great ability in the management
of the affairs OF the state. He has,
like Malone, a strong belief III the recu-
peratiVe powers Of the seHth, and, in q
business sense, is liberal and progressive.
He 10 o great friend of Lamar, with
whose views he is in practical accord !,
and whose policy in the management OF
the interior department he would carry
out to the letter were he made secretary.
1t is not unlikely that Assistant Score
#tary Mnldrow will receive some consid-
GRAFTON for the place under q civil SER
vice policy, but there is some latent OPP
position to him in the depal tment. There
|is a movement on foot, also,
among Pennsylvanians to have
Solicitor General jerks appoint
ed in Lamsr's place, and it is
known that the president has received
the suggestion with considerable inter
est. He likes jerks and would appoint
him secretary if public policy would be
subseryed thereby. The fact is that the
president has felt much safer regarding
his department of Justice since jerks
has gone there and is strongly opposed
the head Of it. As has already been
stated, however the president is deter
mined to secure a good business man for
the head of his interior department and
all the pressure and political influence
in the world will not secure any man the
appointment,

GILL; crank who threatened yesterday to
kill Cleveland is to go to st. Elizabeth's.
He says President Cleveland owes him
$500 100000 and that hs won't pay the
debt. and that he intends to make him.
In one of bis crazy fits he held q piece
of soap in his hand and said, off L
can't get anything else LII kill Cleveland
with this" Yesterday he said he was
going to get q double barreled shotgun
and while Cleveland was at church
Sunday he was going to shoot the top
OF his head off. Krebs came here three
weeks ago, and has been stopping at the
Columbus hotel. The clerk there
thought Krsbs would put his threats

escaped from the Illinois insane asylum,
and he will be sent back there this

All I'm the Famiry.

Washington. July s-Howard Fox is
consul Of Falmouth, England. DR.. st.
CLAIR, Of the state department, says:
IT is a singular fact that aver since the
time OF George Washington the position
of United States consul at Falmouth has
been held by that family. and in that
name. The first Fox to hold the office
was commissioned by Washington HIM
self, and the last one, the present occu-
pant OF the place, by Gen. Grant 10 1874.
The family is an English one. and I
don't believe that they would give up
that little Office for any other in the gift
OF the United States government, on
account of its having been 30 long in the
family. There is no salary attached TO
the place, the compensation being only
fees, which never exceed 5000, or G40
in Englieh money. Mr.. Fox spends
three or four times that amount in
entertaining Americans.

The AMERICAN EAGLE.

As it Appeared Before the People OF
Scotland, Dakota, On MOnday-ScOt-
lands Campbell on statehood.
In Scotland on Monday last, the
glorious fourth of July, vas celebrated
with oil the gusto which the occasion
can call forth in any city. The occasion
was not n of apparent unconeern on
the part Of those who observed the day
but there we're combined the old fashion
ed exercises in the grove and the more
modern base ball, horse and loot racing,
fireworks and dancing, sill of which Z
ercises were conducted in a manner so
orderly that our Yankton visitors we're
~agreeably surprised.
As in every other town where the
fourth held forth the day was ushered In
With the noise of n IS shooting, fire
crackers cracking and the music OF brass
band and fife and drum. The town was
crowded to it's fullest oapiolty, the many
farmers who were present felt unusually
merry and there was a general good time.
Tbs programme of the days exercises
opened ut ten O'clock sharp and as each
feature had been arranged with
an idea of brevity all was
pleasant. Major Robert Dollard, who
GRATED, painted the glories Of the Ameri-
can eagle from its cradle to the present
day in colors SO attractive that marked
attention was given all the way through
and hearty applause followed. The base
ball game resulted in favor OF Scotland
against Yankton by q score of 26 to 81.
But the victory was hard earned and the
Scotland boys appreciate this fact.
The event OF the occasion came in the
evening, when q large crowd of festive
folks gathered to witness the Fireworks,
The fireworks were unusually attractive,
but later on some one started a CRY for
speeches aud the crowd shouted "Camp.
BELL" and soon General 20. 7. Camp
BELLS stentorian tones were heard
above the pop of fire
crackers. General Campbell chose
for the subject Of his short speech the
statehood question, and such an argu-
ment in favor Of south Dakota, division
and admission is not often heard in this
land. The speakers very soul was In
his words, and when he had finally con-
eluded the cheers which resounded were
~deafenlng.. There is some question as
to whether Campbell at Armour OF
Campbell at Scotland had the most ap-
preciative audience. a wag suggests
that this team be hitched to the state.
hood chariot, and given the rains, thai
they may pull Dakota into the union.
The Yankton visitors to Scotland
were entertained in a manner which
renders description tame. The people
OF Scotland exerted themselves to make
ell as pleasant a possible and theil
efforts we're crowned with complete
success.
